If you look at the posts on lightning strikes in the Villages you might get an idea of this. There have been several mentioned on TOTV over the past few weeks.
So let's project the number to 200 damaging hits a year. So the odds are 50,00/200 or whatever other number you want to use. Odds still high against a hit.
